AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention is about containers and container lids that don't require a gasket. The design includes a brine disc panel, which helps to keep the solid food or products submerged in liquid. This feature is possible because the container lid has a mechanism that eliminates buoyancy. Overall, this improvement makes it easier to store and transport solid foods in liquid without compromising their quality.

Problems solved by technology

Although common and useful, containers and lids can include inadequate sealing mechanisms that allow leakage and air intake.
Including a gasket in a container and / or lid design may help eliminate leakage and inadequate air intake, but because gaskets are commonly made of rubber, paper, or cork, they can break and crack over time, which can cause them to lose sealant properties.
In these scenarios, the solid may be exposed to air between a top surface of the liquid and the underside of the lid connected to the container, therefore losing the benefits of full submersion.

Abstract

The present disclosure relates generally to containers and container lids. In at least one embodiment, the disclosed containers and container lids provide a liquid-tight seal without the use of gaskets, and can facilitate full submersion of solid items when the container is filled with liquid. For example, in certain embodiments, a container lid includes a brine disc panel with alternating hatched patterns of downward protruding ridges. Thus, in these embodiments, liquids within the container can pass between the protruding ridges (e.g., with the protruding ridges extending downwardly into the liquid) and the protruding ridges may keep solids that tend to float in the liquid below a surface of the liquid.
